LILY. I was thinking this morning, dear, that perhaps we could take two boarders. It would help a little. That little room at the back, over the scullery, would do nicely with a single bed.
CHARLEY. That’s where I keep my cuttings and things.
LILY. Yes, dear, but you could have half the coal shed. We never fill it.
CHARLEY. I don’t want the coal shed. I say—must we have two?
LILY. It would make things better, dear.
CHARLEY. But it’s beastly, choking up your house with a lot of fellers. You don’t like it, do you?
LILY. No, dear, of course not.
CHARLEY. You don’t seem much put out.
LILY. It’s no good being cross about it, dear, is it? If it’s got to be done, we may as well make the best of it.
CHARLEY. Oh, make the best of it. [Fretfully.] You might at least seem vexed.
